Conjecture on the limiting distribution of normalized interface-curve length

Let Γ\Gamma be the interface curve joining opposite corners of a three-dimensional cube of size NN, and let LNL_N be its length, defined as the number of tetrahedra crossed by the curve. Write L^N\widehat{L}_N for the length normalized by its average. Uniform-limit conjecture. The random variable L^N\widehat{L}_N converges in law to the uniform distribution on [0,2][0,2]. The observed average growth E[LN]N3\mathbb{E}[L_N]\sim N^3 suggests that the interface curve is space-filling; the proposed limiting law is supported by numerical data, but finite-size effects remain near 00 and 22.
